This Week:
Copley argued that higher fines are warranted for all parking and vehicle equipment violations because those fines have not been increased for more than 20 years and are not providing much of a deterrent.
"It's the deterrence that I'm looking for," Copley said.
Last Week:
Police Chief Rob Copley said the increase in parking fines is needed to offset the cost of enforcing parking regulations in the downtown area. The Police Department has a full-time parking enforcement officer who writes tickets for timed parking violations in the downtown business district, but the revenue from $5 tickets is not enough to offset the cost of having an officer and paying for fuel and other expenses.
